Yes, I think France was happy that our liberation due to their intervention came in time for us to return the favor in 1944.

Why is it ever a good idea to postpone liberty and why are you against that cause?

Sorry, I missed this. Of course, I am for liberty but here's where we disagee. Genuine revolutions are not dependent on the decisions of paternalistic foreigners.

You don't give enough credit to the founders and too much credit to King Louis The Americans would, in my view, have won even without the French.

In retrospect, I don't think many sane Frenchmen were happy that they had to endure the Terror and Napoleon.
